Amber Moser, Elon University
Amber recently returned from spending 11 days in Florida (Tampa & Orlando) with first-year Communications Fellows. She did an incredible job planning the trip and scheduling meetings with more than 10 awesome companies. This is an annual January-term trip, and Amber knocked it out of the park!
Ali’Yah Arnold-Martin, Georgia State University – J. Mack Robinson College of Business
Ali’Yah started with our office the Monday before classes started Fall 2017. In that short time, Ali’Yah has proven to be an amazing addition to the undergraduate team in the Career Advancement Center. Ali’Yah has hit the ground running handling students from some of our most demanding majors. She quickly learned the ropes by assisting in various workshops, events, and professional development classes. She always has a smile and a contagious cheerful attitude that students and staff all enjoy. We are so thankful to have Ali’Yah on our team!*
La’Kesha Hughes, Georgia State University – J. Mack Robinson College of Business
La’Kesha continues to be an outstanding leader on the undergraduate team here in the Career Advancement Center. Most recently, La’Kesha lead the 7th Annual Diversity Breakfast as part of our career expo with over 100 students in attendance along with representatives from 15 different employers. From one on one meetings with students, workshops hosted by our office, and professional development labs taught in conjunction with academic classes La’Kesha continues to be a valued team member!
Marielle Thomas, Georgia State University – J. Mack Robinson College of Business
Where to begin in describing the amazing job that Marielle does in helping companies recruit our students? Last fall, we ran three career fairs in one month! For an office that normally runs one career fair a semester, three in one month and in new spaces was a feat. Marielle with her quiet and calm demeanor pulled it off like a true professional. In addition to career fairs, Marielle runs our on campus interviews and employer info sessions. Marielle does a great job helping Georgia State students connect with employers.
Megan Walters, UNC Greensboro
Megan goes above and beyond the call of duty and is the best supervisor I’ve ever had.
Rory Beaco, University of South Alabama Career Services
Rory’s commitment to serving our students and meeting them where they are in their career management process is something I notice, regularly. He is quick to offer encouragement and a listening ear anytime a student or staff member is in need. Rory’s good nature and jovial laugh always make the work day better.
Bevley Green, University of South Alabama Career Services
Bevley’s approachable and supportive demeanor helps to foster a genuine sense of trust and rapport that few are fortunate to find in a supervisor. Her continued dedication to learning and implementing industry standards into the work we do with students is greatly appreciated.
Tasha Litton, University of South Alabama Career Services
Tasha is dedicated to providing a quality of excellence in everything she does, be it meeting with employers or coordinating career events. Her commitment to professionalism and customer service makes her a great addition to our team. While it’s not an easy job being an Employer and Student Outreach Coordinator, Tasha makes it look effortless.
